And while he mulled over how popular his younger sister had become in such a short time. In truth, Evan couldn't be happier about all of the friends Lisa had made, how successful she'd been for her very first term and how in love with the wizarding world she clearly was. She had a best friend who had put some risk into making sure she was alright. And he knew there had been more people, even than just himself and this girl, who had been motivated to movement for the sake of his sister. It warmed his heart.

And yet... there was a glimmer of jealousy. Not for what were probably the most obvious reasons, but it was hard to not have at least a little of that feeling over the fact that he and Maya had been robbed so early of excitement and innocence. He hoped Lisa never was.

Bringing himself out of his mind and present to the current conversation, he gave Serena another small smile, "Regardless, I'm grateful." Did he think Poppy would have actually physically harmed his sister? Not in the slightest. But that didn't mean he had wanted her anywhere near her, just as everyone else clearly hadn't. He was supremely glad she was not going to be a returning feature at Hogwarts.

He shook back, before releasing her hand and going back to his prodding and listening. "Was your first term at Hogwarts kind of a probationary thing?" Considering she said she passed a test and now got to go back. Not that he'd blame parents if they did try a probationary before considering homeschooling. "Friends are always a good thing to have too." He'd been surprisingly successful in that department over the last term as well.

Sniffy... the Niffler? The rising fourth year blinked at the red head at that, was that a pet that they had? Were nifflers allowed as pets? They didn't seem like they'd be very good ones. But a niffler on a coin would make sense too though, especially if it was shiny. But then she elaborated and he blinked again. "Oh. Are there other wizard specific plays and shows and stuff?" He'd never even considered that was a possibility. Maybe there were children's books and a set of fairy tales much like Disney for muggles as well?

"Oh. Um. I'm not entirely sure still... maybe I'll just do something abstract." Or hopefully something else would come to him and stick as a good idea. Hearing the Goblins near by, Evan turned his head and decided to ask where they usually found their inspiration, though he was also wishing he'd had a list of things he was curious about already prepared so he could ask a million questions like he was prone to when allowed to speak with an expert. "How do you normally decide how to design the coins?"


However small that moment was, Serena noticed Evan being pensive. She wondered what he was thinking, like she often wondered about people. You see, Serena has learned that people are unpredictable at times. And she would place bets with herself to see which route a person would take. She didn't know Evan to make a guess. She could assume, but that somehow felt disrespectful to her friendship with Lisa.

Serena gave him a little smile and nodded. She didn't feel there was a need to thank her. She was no Gryffindor, and even then she had moments of bravery.

At his question, she nodded. "My mum was worried someone would hurt me and I would retaliate and seriously maim or accidentally kill them," she said as easily as saying she likes homework. That was the honest truth. "I didn't, and I also didn't die." There was that, too. If she died she couldn't go back to Hogwarts...for obvious reasons.

She squinted at the clay and then started etching the outline of a niffler. "I guess so," she said, regarding to friends. "My mum was also worried I wouldn't make any friends." Her mum worries a lot just because Serena isn't the happy-go-lucky type like her.

Come to think of it, now that Evan asked about wizard plays, Serena realized she hadn't really had conversations about blood-status with Lisa. One, it didn't matter. Two, blood doesn't matter. "A lot of children's books are coming to life in plays. My brother is into that Niffly one and one about bowtruckles going on adventures." She eyed Evan. "You're not familiar with them?" They were quite popular in her circle of people.

She watched curiously as Evan interacted with the goblin. That was a good question. She had one to ask. "Are you taking in new designs?" Because she might have a cute niffler one coming up.
